Helping you turn “What the F*CK?!” into “Oh, I see…”
Every parent wants to enjoy spending time with their kids, but how is it possible when yours are driving you up the bloody wall?
You’ve come to the right place.
I’m here to tell you that tantrum-fee shopping trips, peaceful bedtimes, and happy mealtimes are all within reach for you and your family. It’s never too late, or too early, to stop the downward spiral and start enjoying your children again, with my proven tools and techniques.
Hi, I’m Allana.
For a decade I was a registered Early Childhood Educator and Developmental Specialist for children with special needs, creating targeted behaviour and intervention plans. I’ve spent countless hours reading the latest child development and behavioural psychology research, am certified in Pivotal response therapy and Shanker Self-Reg, and am trained in Relationship Development Intervention, Hanen Social Communication, and Collaborative and Proactive Solutions.
I’m also Mom to two amazing kids. I can tell you from personal and professional experience—the ParentAbility method works.
When you don’t understand how your child’s brain works—what causes the behaviour to happen in the first place—you’re often left reeling.
What were they thinking?
Where did they learn to do that?
Why did that even occur to them?
Frustrated and flustered, you try and turn it around and…it escalates. You feel like a failure. Why is this SO hard?!
When you understand what’s going on “under the hood” with your child suddenly all that uncertainty and frustration disappears. You’re no longer reeling—you’re on the ball. You know exactly what’s going down in that little head of theirs. You’re in control.
That is my mission with Uncommon Sense Parenting:
To make the mysterious inner workings of your child’s brain not such a mystery anymore. I want you to feel like the expert on your own child, ready to take on the world. But I know you don’t have time (or the desire) to go out and spend the time (not to mention the money!) on all the certifications, learning all the different methods, reading all the books.
ParentAbility provides everything you need to:
Understand the roots of your child’s behaviour.
Help your child develop 8 life-changing skills that are fundamental for good behaviour.
Correct your child’s behaviour – without losing your cool.
And it’s all backed by personal advice and support—from me, as well as my amazing posse of badass parents.

What parents are saying...
“I don’t get frustrated anymore. I am much more patient, and it’s reduced the amount of time I spend getting him to do anything."
I’m a single Mom without much time. Since beginning ParentAbility I am much more calm and am able to work with my son. I don’t get frustrated anymore. I am much more patient, and it’s reduced the amount of time I spend getting him to do anything. My favourite part is the picture boards. I use them every day and when he gets side tracked we refer back to them and we end up back on track. I would absolutely recommend this program—all kiddos have their weaknesses and these tools do help!

“I'm already starting to see improvement in behavior in my 3-year-old. Even more important, possibly, is the change I've seen in myself. ”
I’m already starting to see improvement in behavior in my 3-year-old. Even more important, possibly, is the change I’ve seen in myself. I find I’m more patient and less prone to immediately react when issues arise. Because I have more insight in my son’s developing brain skills, I find I’m able to approach a challenging situation (e.g. a tantrum) in a more enlightened way. To be honest, coughing up the investment for this program was difficult. I had never paid this much for any online course before and it was definitely a leap of faith. I didn’t really know what to expect, other than knowing that the concepts discussed in the webinar just made sense. I would absolutely recommend ParentAbility. The resources are fantastic and so easy to digest. It’s wonderful for busy families!

“...in regards to their negative behaviours, I have a few things now in my toolbox that I can bring out at a moments notice and they work.”
I was worried about the time involved and having a busy life could I keep making sure I am putting all the advice into practice. I find I have an idea on how to achieve better results for my kids when I’m struggling with something in regards to their negative behaviours, I have a few things now in my toolbox that I can bring out at a moments notice and they work. I recommend this program because it helps, because she knows her stuff. She’s there at the end of her keyboard always knowing the right words to say to you and when you’re struggling with a strong willed 6, 4 and 2 year old.
